Product Designer & AI-Native 0-1 Engineering | ex Telegram, VK
Product designer who is always on the go. My approach with design is to craft solutions that are simple, delightful, and efficient. Now delivering fullstack apps: vibe coding in Cursor with React, Supabase, GCP. Delivering any idea from scratch to production on my own.

— Designed & delivered SDK widget overlay for games.
— Created landing pages in Framer, multiple pitch decks, investor updates, and social media assets.

— Shipped multiple new products and evolved a large suite of existing apps for web and iOS in a privacy-first, no-analytics environment, relying on direct user feedback and iterative releases.
— Co-built #1 grossing mini-app in Telegram’s history in 3-person team, sparking a wave of copycats.
— Designed all updates and flows, owned the entire frontend in Flutter via Cursor, shipping features to production. Built landing pages in Framer, purchased search ads to boost SEO.
— Co-invented monetization upgrades, multiplying median user spend by 4.5×.
— Contributed across product, vision, roadmap, and engineering in an intense hackathon sprint.
— Validated demand before development with fake ads and landing pages. Created and launched ads on my own. Gathered feedback and contacts to schedule additional interviews for research.
— Split into 3 companies: one app reached positive unit economics, two others close to profitability.
— Sole designer in a team of 5–40, mostly engineers. Owned end-to-end design, research, contributing and validation of ideas, testing, and product directions.
